St. Paul daily globe., 1887-10-14
IN THE AFTERNOON.
Some of the Remarks Made Be-
fore NightfaII.

Public Indignation was as great as
ever yesterday over the asinine Trib-
une editorial of the preceding day, but
the expressions of opinions, though
still as earnest, were more guarded and
less rash. The Minneapolis office of
the GLOBE was besieged during the
day by well-known Republicans, who
desired to go on record as ut
terly repudiating the ruffianly and
nhOspitable attack, and who de-
iclared the paper should never soil
their fingers again. Several letters of
the same tenor were received, each con-
tanning word of commentator for the
GLOBES prompt defense of the honor of
Minneapolis. 1t was reported during
the morning that the scurrilous article
had, before it was printed, been turned
over to meeting OF prominent Repub-
lIcanS and by them indorsed, the only
question being whether it should appear
when it did, or on Sunday morning.
A prominent gentleman said he
heard G. w. johnson say this. GLOBE
reporters were sent to the offices of all
the prominent Republicans in the city,
not already quoted, and they indig-
nantly denied any knowledge of it, and
unqualifiedly condemned it. Two men
u,
but they gave their Endorsement with a
hang-dOg look that made them objects
rather of pity and contempt than CEN
sure.
1t was stated On good authority that
the offensive article was written by the
writing editor of the paper by direction
of the owner, and that when turned in
it was not vile enough to suit the latter,
who changed and added to it to meet his
own contemplate views. 1t was also
said the article was the outgrowth of
the vindictive spirit of the
owner, aroused because he was
presidential party. The fact was that
the names of both of the owners of the
Tribune were suggested at the commit
tee meeting and both were promptly
rejected. Regarding this as a snub, the
editorial attack on Mrs. Cleveland was
probably written to ''get even"
Indignation was again stirred up last
night by the receipt of the information
thatoan Eastern paper had published an
article declaring Minneapolis had fla
grantly and publicly insulted President
and Mrs. Cleveland. 1t was talked of
i'll all of the public resorts last night.
